                          <strong>Explorer Help:</strong> <br>
                          The explorer is the heart of the BlueX system. It provides the functionality of a standard explorer and also some advanced features too.
                          <br>
                          The GUI of explorer comprises of several components:<br>
                          -Toolbar and Address Bar which provides general features<br>
                          -A Favorite
menu in which your added favorite drives/folders may reside for fast access to them<br>
-and, the Explorer itself, which provides all the basic exploring features<br>
<br>
<strong>Toolbar and Address Bar:</strong>
<br> 
All the general shortcuts buttons and current address bar is situated here. One can get more information about each button on the toolbar from the tool tip, which pops up when you place your mouse over the specified button.<br>
The address bar gives the currently opened page address. You can directly go to any location by inserting the location in the address bar and clicking the GoTo button.<br>
<br>
<strong>Favorite Menu:</strong>
<br>
The favorite menu is the new addition in the BlueX version 4.0.0. By name it is clear that it will show your favorite locations. You can add locations to the favorite menu by right clicking any folder location and then clicking Add To Favorites. Redundant entries will be omitted automatically. You can at any time remove locations from the Favorite menu except the Roots.<br>
<br>
<strong>Explorer:</strong>
<br>
In this version two views are supported for viewing the files. One is <strong>Detailed</strong> view and the other one is <strong>List</strong> view. Detailed view contains all necessary and required information about any file/folder at one place. Folders can be viewed by double clicking on them while the mechanism for opening files first checks whether there is any plugin available in the BlueX which associates this extension if there exists any then it opens it with that plugin else it requests the Operating System to open that file.<br>
All of the Context Menu entries have their usual meanings beside the menus related to <strong>Scan Basket</strong> to know more about Processing and Scan Basket <a href="../Process Window/index.html">click here</a>.
<br>
Currently dragging and dropping of files are not available with the Explorer.
